Two minutes before Adam's hammer was shot.

Step around the corner of Night City.

As the highway stretches towards the back of the tall buildings, a path belonging to the Nilfgaard Empire takes over the original world.

It's like an illusion generated by data.

Little by little, the buildings around them began to get shorter, from the modern and neon lights of Night City, to Novigre in the Steam Age, and finally to the medieval Kyrmohan.

Maljie crashed into a house in a mech.

"Damn...... The buffer system still doesn't work. ”

He patted the dirt on his head, and the grit turned into blue dust in the air, blooming in the moonlight.

There are no people here, and if you look closely at the map, you will see that the surrounding scene layout has shifted.

In other words, the direction to the sealing point was already in another special dream that only existed in the memories of Gaunt Odim.

Marger stepped out of the room.

"No signal."

He tried to connect to the network system in his electronic brain, and only the sound of "zizi" electricity slipped by.

When you step into the vision of Novigre, everything related to technology is lost.

The sorceress rode a hammer across the night sky and landed lightly beside him.

Cha Bai shook his dress, looked at the familiar "Jiye Flying Machine", and pouted: "It's still the mecha that Jiye is fast." ”

"Hmph, after all, it's injected into my bones and blood." Marjie said something misleading, and then asked in a changing tone, "Miss Chabai...... When you killed Adam's hammer just now, it seemed even more powerful than before? ”

"Because of the [Focuser]." Tea white release panel.

[Negative effect: If the opening time is more than 24 hours, the more dangerous the teammates, and every time a teammate dies, shout "Athena", you can get a chance to randomly increase all attributes]

Every time Marger looks at the panel of [Focuser], he feels that the words of the protagonist are sticking on his face.

"It's only 24 hours after it's open."

"The total time is 24 hours, and the total time I turned on is 27 hours and 15 minutes." Cha Bai explained, "When I was looking for you, I tried to shout 'Athena'. ”

Then her little universe exploded......

[Tea White: Lv40]

[Strength: 66+30]

[Reaction: 96+22]

[Spiritual Power: 132+26]

[Constitution: 201+13]

[Insight: 83+17]

[Medical: 42+20]

Note: The plus sign is followed by the kicker attribute.

Statistically, she's risen at least 9 levels in a row.

Marjie: "You...... What else is useless? ”

Cha Bai glanced at it: "In the case of certain death, there will definitely be an accident that will cause this event to not let me die, and there is also the [Demon Eye of Direct Death]." ”

It's awesome...... Brother Ma has a feeling that he will always be a clown in front of her.

So he changed his words again and said solemnly: "Miss Chabai, do you still have the leisure to change clothes?" ”

Cha Bai changed into a dress.

After all, after doing so many tasks, the title [Wardrobe] can obtain various mod costumes or force the costumes to be synthesized.

"Hmm...... This one has better entries and performance. ”

Backless dress in black with slits to the thighs, black leggings, black boots, and black eye patches.

If this dress were to be worn by a black person, it would constitute perfect racism.

【Witch Dress】

There is an entry on the effect that increases the speed of mana regeneration, and the backless outfit is used to facilitate the activation of the mantis cannon on the back.

That's all.

"Say......" The tea-white eyes stared ahead, the demon hunter fortress "Kyle Mohan", which had fallen a hundred years ago, his eyes were glazed: "Why is the final place to block the mirror the ...... of the witchers"

Marje knew the answer at first glance: "Because one of Gaunt Odim's most famous failures was done by the witcher, and the most humiliating of his was calculated by your witcher." ”

Cha Bai pursed his lips, and Brother Ma mischievously used "your demon hunter".

She thought for a moment.

"However, when Li Nuo died, you rushed faster than anyone else."

"Humph......"

"In your words, this behavior of yours is called tsundere?"

"So I like A2 over 2B ......"

"I understand, I understand." Cha Bai took out the [Summoning Magic Crystal].

"Use it now?"

"No, wait a minute, get it ready." Cha Bai held the [Magic Crystal] with the mechanical hand on his left, manipulated the floating hand, and buried his arm in the grass.

Preparing for combat in advance was one of the purposes for which they came here first.

Cha Bai stood sideways, the modernity of Night City and the past of Kyle Mohan in her field of vision at the same time, and she whispered, "Marger, when you go back, upgrade the robot for me, it can't keep up with the times." ”

Marje was going to say, do you really think you can go back?

But he couldn't speak.

The strength of the Mirror Master has reached the point of exaggeration, skipping the physical attack, the means of manipulating the soul, and the more afraid he is, the stronger his power becomes.

Cha Bai saw at a glance that Marjie was worried, she didn't persuade her, in Li Nuo's words, Brother Ma is an extremely rational person, and what he believes will never change because of a few words.

Brother Ma also complained bitterly in his heart.

Some plans are not unspoken, but there is no way to say them, and in an environment controlled or participated by the Master Mirror, you must keep your mind empty.

Günter Odim will read your memory thoughts.

The best thing to do is to spread the sense of loss throughout the gyrus.

Make the demon think that even if you have a plan, you don't have a high success rate, so as to ensure that the suddenness of the attack is full.

But the above ideas are contradictory.

From the rules expounded by Xing Kai, it can be inferred that the more you fear, the more powerful the demon will be.

"What's wrong?"

Cha Bai's voice is crisp but a little depressing.

"It's not the way to go on like this......

Marger took a deep breath, took out the "portable radio", a product of the last century, from the doctor's coat, connected it to the external amplifier system, and played a song:

"The old driver took me to enter the provincial capital, and I want to go to the provincial capital, and the car is mostly short Why am I......, ahh

Bang!

Cha Bai pulled out his gun like a frightened bird, and his "radio" collapsed with a precise shot.

"Brother Ma...... Don't make a fuss......"

"Hmph......" Marjie calmly pulled out a larger radio from the compartment of his backpack......

Just as Chabai felt despair, the moonlight in the sky dimmed, and the black pressure from the direction of Night City pressed like a tsunami.

Maljie put the radio away, squinted at the black tide, and said, "My army of mechanical lifeforms is here." ”

Cha Bai let out a sigh of relief, she never thought that one day she would be saved by a mechanical lifeform.

"That's why it's fun to live......"

……

A minute later.

At this time, Li Nuo shot Adam's hammer and collapsed.

[Seal Lifted]

The sound of the system is simple and straightforward.

Tea-white eyes stared at the castle of Kellmohan.

The walls of the fortress cracked, and the castle split into dense squares, making way for a passage in the middle of the displayed and floating blocks.

There was a thick fog at the end, and the sound of the heart beating came from there.

"Breath ......" Cha Bai took a deep breath.

"Don't be too nervous, Miss Chabai."

Maljie looked up at the sky as he handed out pieces of to the mechanical lifeforms.

"Brother Monkey is here."

In the air, a woman and a stick flew by, the stick was stuck in the wall, and the woman turned over and jumped down.

Nanami shook off her long hair, and rushed towards them with a melon seed face, and saw Chabai covering her mouth in surprise.

"Curious way to fly......"

"Funny is a support skill, nothing to be surprised ......"

Nanami means that we are all people from Cairo Game World, and it's normal to have two funny skills.

Players in the "Endless Corridor" will be more or less exposed to the ability of "Funny Cause and Effect" in the process of leveling up their skills.

For example, [serious retreat].

Nanami's is called [Peach White Heaven's Sky Technique], and the characteristic is that she can fly 400~800 meters in the air by stepping on a long pole weapon, and she can't change direction halfway, and flying and crashing into the building is considered a basic exercise, so if she wasn't in a hurry, she wouldn't use this trick.

"What about Sumi and Li Nuo?" Marje asked.

Because Nanami is flat-chested, Brother Ma looks at her like a man.

"Saying that he was looking for a sniper spot, Li Nuo was riding that dog-like dragon to drive here." Nanami looked forward and couldn't help but widen her apricot eyes when she saw the passage surrounded by countless squares: "I'll go...... Is this the path to heaven or the gates of hell......"

"Hmph, how can it be heaven, we are all full of blood." Marger's pupils stretched sideways to the limit.

The surrounding buildings are crumbling.

The walls split, turning into tiny chunks like Kelmohan Castle, and surging sand rolled up behind them, casting a mist over the Night City skyline in the distance.

The block splits the sky.

The night was swept by the wind and sand.

Marjie: "He's not here yet. ”

"Let's go, don't need to [fetch the leather bag], you have to give him a little time to explore, and someone has to take the lead." Cha Bai looked at Nanami with a light smile: "I'm sorry, I'm going to bring you in this time." ”

Nanami pursed her lips and grabbed her hair: "I'm embarrassed that you say that...... I don't like to owe someone something, save my life and remember it, it's as simple as that, so ......"

She picked up the stick and was the first to take a step: "Go." ”

Cha Bai: "You can wait outside." ”

Nanami: "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up! ”

【Main Quest Updated】

[Defeat the World Boss, Gaunt Odim]

[Difficulty: Lv70~Lv??? 】

At the moment when the mission was updated, several people on the edge of the seal were like being caught in the whirlpool of the fierce sea, unable to control their bodies, and their eyes suddenly went black.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the center of the block matrix.

There was no way out from the rear, only a huge, impassable fog gate.

【Entered the central area】

Everyone looked ahead, and the large white was like the sea fog above the deep sea, and then, the palpitations became stronger and stronger.

Uncontrollable fear erupted, and no one could tell why this was happening.

But one thing is certain, since I came to the "Endless Corridor", I have never felt such a sense of fear.

"May the Lord of Triss bless us, and may the wind and birds echo through the mountains and forests...... Peace and happiness in my heart...... May he who cut through the darkness give us salvation at the dawn of dawn......"

Cha Bai put his hand on his chest.

If she calms down for her own heart, she will recite the [Ice Heart Formula].

The sorceress of the Holy See had told her to pray when those around her were feeling upset.

Maybe it doesn't work, but when it comes to facing demons, a little faith is better than nothing.

……

Biological weapons wearing military technology uniforms are caged in Watson District.

The torrent of machine-gun fire, the fierce flames and shrapnel of the grenade explosion all burned the dream-cursed city.

Leno rode a vampire dragon through behind a building graffiti-covered with gang symbols, yellow-orange firelight on the top, and the masonry and glass reflected neon that no one cared about.

If he were to write a diary today, he would have thought of the content:

- My name is Li Nuo.

- I'm unlucky.

- I can't go out alone, I'm in prison alone in Greenland, I'm riding a dragon in a good way in Night City, walking down the alleys, avoiding all eyes, but by chance I come across a biological weapon that simulates peeing everywhere......

So the current scene happened, the priest, the witcher, and the dream hunter who were preparing to hunt the demons were being chased by a sack of biological weapons as many as cockroaches.

It's not that he doesn't fight back, first, there are too many people on the other side, and second, there are really not so many bullets to waste here.

The so-called biological weapons are the demonized humans who come into contact with in the Nine Dragons, and in the dream world, this group of guys is also called "beastification", and the genes of all intruders are engraved in their bones.

Suddenly, a ribbon-like creature emerged from the wall in front of him.

Li Nuo was confused, and raised his hand to stuff a grenade into the mouth of the thing (picked up from next to Adam's hammer corpse).

Rumble!

The flames mingled with black smoke, and the monster flew and rolled happily, and the monster screamed and suddenly weakened.

Li Nuo's eyelids jumped and jumped, and his gaze unconsciously explored among the abandoned buildings that looked like primeval jungle.

"Aren't you going to use the [Pickup Leather Bag] ......?"

He also received the mainline update panel.

Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration.

"That's right!"

Potions: Martyr

【Quality: Excellent】

[Toxicity: 40%]

[Brief description: The hatred value is immediately reduced, and if you don't get some blood on your hands during this period, you will be eaten up by the hatred value, and become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats, until the potion is consumed]

This thing was made after the train assessment, because after that, his style changed from obscene to reckless, so he stuffed the [Martyr] in his bag and hibernated for a long time.

The potion poured down his throat, and he raised his gun and fired mercury bullets at the pursuers on the side.

After several successive gunshots, the properties of the "potion" were activated.

The sound of guns and roars, step by step away from him.

The enemy who was more than fifty meters away subconsciously forgot about him.

Li Nuo took the opportunity to take out the hammer that Cairo-kun had exchanged.

【Cairo IQ Workshop Hammer (Inferior Quality)】

【Quality: Excellent】

[Conditions of use: Optional]

[Effect: Activate the potential of something you need, so that it can obtain the ability to play a mod]

[Note: If it is not fully charged, it can only play half of the effect]

[Brief description: Use it to knock yourself on the head, yes, just knock yourself, don't be embarrassed, it's not a shame to beat yourself to death with a hammer in front of everyone]

Without hesitation, Li Nuo picked up the hammer and struck it on the top of his head.

……

Bang!

V slammed the car door shut, put the computer on his lap, and said to Michiko beside him, "Drive, quick!" ”

Michiko's face turned pale, excitement and panic were intertwined and circling in her heart, she stepped on the accelerator and looked at the presidential palace not far away that was burning with flames, and the corners of her mouth trembled invisibly.

"it...... It's so awesome V, you really put Miles ......"

"Don't talk nonsense." V Use the data cable on the body to connect to the computer socket.

"What are you doing with your laptop?" Michiko took a wheel and turned the car to the road leading to the underground traffic road.

"I took the priest's request, and he asked me to send everything I could find." V's pupils flickered, and the sound of electromagnetism ringing in her head didn't affect her thinking ability: "That old Wei cooperated with them, there must be other reasons, Miles mentioned the demon, and he is a priest, I think...... Miles may have some key information in his computer. ”

The more Michiko listened, the more evil she became, so she stopped talking.

"Found it."

V's gaze was solemn, and she cracked the command letter that Miles had left on the computer terminal:

"We naively thought that Ronald was just a middleman with a city, when in reality, he was the culprit of the malice."

"Allowing the devil to toss us like origami would be a disaster for the entire ruling class...... The good news is that we learn from a strange-looking alien that the Devil has been imprisoned in Night City for the past two years. ”

"It's a pity that I have other troubles right now, so I hope you can help me solve the problems of Night City and find out what happened to that Ronald."

"There is a different world in Night City, I hope you will use the 'Code of the Old Gods' to find a solution, and for the sake of the future of the New United States of America, you must complete the task as soon as possible."

V licked his dry lips and continued to look down, the message Miles received:

"The out-of-control AI found in the cyberspace, it should be the data flowing out of another space, it is compatible with the 'ancient god code', it should be the 'whisper' from that 'Ronald', we have consumed the lives of twenty-six cyber hackers, and the interpretation has ......been completed."

V continued to look down, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

When I saw the last line of text, I couldn't help but burst out foul language: "......"

……

[Alzu's Alchemy: Learning Progress 10%→80%]

The hammer shattered.

Li Nuo's head is intact.

Alzu's Alchemy is a reward for the Saliva quest.

Arzu, the creator of the Witcher, is the pinnacle of the pyramid in the world of The Witcher for his magical and alchemical skills.

【Knowledge Points Unlocked】

[You can discover more truths from things related to The Witcher]

The first thing that came to Lenovo's mind was the imprint on his tongue.

This thing has something to do with the Mirror Master.

Now that more truths have been unlocked......

He opened the skills panel.

It is always true that you should die while you are sick.

【Evoking Brand】

[Type: Skill]

Skipping the previous content, there are new hints at the bottom:

[How to use: Sign a contract with the target of "mutual familiarity", imprinted on the tongue, so you can use words (if you need to touch it on your fingers), as long as the target has the same commonality and obsession as you, it is a mandatory contract]

[The Concept of the Shell: Soul Carrier]

[Extradition of Souls: After the contract takes effect, the person who made the contract can end the contract within ten minutes, at the cost of holding part of the soul in the hands of the other party]

[Note: This brand can only be used on disembodied "demonic" creatures.]

Li Nuo sits cross-legged on the back of the vampire dragon, rubbing his fingers against his chin (mask).

The plan is already there......

"If you know my plan......"

Just then, the phone shook.

He was surprised that the broken phone he snatched still had electricity and signal, and even more surprised that the message came from V.

[Hi, Priest, according to the employment agreement, I need to find all the information for you. 】

[But I tried my best, that's all, but it's amazing enough, you can see the rest for yourself.] 】

Text message after message appears on the screen as the phone vibrates.

There was nothing special about the content at the beginning.

Miles ordered his subordinate organization to organize cyber hackers to find out the truth about the mirror master, and from the text, there were traces of lies or cover-ups, which was in line with Miles's style.

In short, the deceased ruler of the new United States of America is afraid of the curse of the devil, so he wants to find a means to counterbalance the demon, and Balala basically has this purpose.

The hacker found some textual information through the mobile AI that remained in Night City's dream.

The devil knows what kind of black technology is.

Li Nuo looked down with a belly.

"That 'whisper' of 'Ronald', we consumed the lives of twenty-six cyber hackers, and the interpretation is complete......"

"It's trapped."

"Our conclusion is, please don't untie the shackles that trapped it."

Li Nuo looked up.

Pupils furrowed.

In the Sealed Lands, the Demon Hunter's sensory system was the first to sense something strange coming from there, and then the Dream Hunter's genes in his body began to tremble like spasms.

The seal had been opened, and the disgusting aura of the evil Li Nuo fell towards him like a collapsed skyscraper.

Li Nuo withdrew his gaze.

He patted the vampire dragon, and this "Pokémon" who had finally made peace with him also felt the breath of killing, baring his teeth and roaring, with a strange sense of fear in his voice.

"It's okay, I've got a way."

Li Nuo comforted the dragon under his crotch, the hunting gene made the back of his hand tremble uncontrollably, and under the mask, his cold gaze followed the road through the streets and alleys, to the steam age of Novigre, and entered the medieval Kelmohan Castle.

"After all, I have no way out."

……

Nanami swallowed her saliva subconsciously.

"What is this......

"It's familiar."

"Humph......"

The white fog cleared.

Ashlar surrounded the edge of the vast field, and out of a cocoon-like thing came a smooth thing.

Its body was pale, its body covered in black blood like branches, and its shriveled body resembled that of a dying beggar.

Marger snapped his fingers, and the mechanical lifeform behind him stood in front of the group, staring at the guy and whispering, "I know it's not an orphan of Kos, but it's just like ......"

Nanami couldn't believe what she was seeing: "So...... Is this the essence of the Mirror Master? ”

The other stood in the distance, staring at them motionlessly.

Marje wanted to use his prosthetic eye to check the other party's data, but as a strong malice swept through his brain, he realized that it was impossible to detect this demonic creature with technology, so he shook the body of the gun with his backhand, and his tone was unkind and uneasy.

"I feel like I'm going to explain here, this guy is completely different from the opponents I've faced before, but Li Nuo will definitely save your life."

He was making a final request to Chabai.

"If he dies too, he will live alone."

Cha Bai's pupils stared ahead, his fingers clenched the hammer, and he whispered, "The problem is, that kind of ending doesn't exist. ”

(End of chapter)
